That good disposition which boasts of being most tender is often stifled by the least urging of self-interest.
Our concern for the loss of our friends is not always from a sense of their worth, but rather of our own need of them and that we have lost some who had a good opinion of us.
We seldom find any person of good sense, except those who share our opinions.
The desire of talking of ourselves, and showing those faults we do not mind having seen, makes up a good part of our sincerity.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
There are heroes in evil as well as in good.
It takes nearly as much ability to know how to profit by good advice as to know how to act for one's self.
